Ron Zacapa is named after a town in eastern Guatemala—“Ron” means Rum and Zacapa is the town. Their plantation is located high on the volcanic plains of Retalhuleu. They have been making premium rum in Central America for more than one hundred years, and their Centenario line is one of the most sought-after by Rum-lovers and collectors alike. All of the Rums they produce across their portfolio are really top notch.

The Zafra line of Rums was created by the masters at Zacapa to market their Panamian Rums. Zafra 30 YO is truly rare. Production is strictly limited to 6720 bottles per year of hand selected casks. The Rum inside is cane-based and ages exclusively in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for a minimum of three decades. The result is incredibly smooth, rich, and complex. In a word … exquisite.

Honest to god I think rum is pretty much all the same and always tastes the same with varying levels of molasses flavor. ZAFRA is a different story. It is the most amazing blend of smooth sugary sweet and molasses in just the perfect amounts. I don’t even care the price, I’d happily buy again.

Very smooth and robust rum. Goes down with a little bit of bite, with a lingering oakey taste. Very nice rum, would recommend
